ETS® Major Field Test for Criminal Justice

The ETS® Major Field Test for Criminal Justice consists of 150 multiple-choice questions, some of which are grouped in sets and based on such materials as diagrams, graphs and statistical data. Most of the questions require knowledge of specific information about the criminal justice system. The test also draws on the student's critical thinking ability to interpret data, to apply concepts and ideas, and to analyze data, theories and relationships, deductively and inductively.

For information about the data and how to use it, see the Comparative Data section.
